Missing you

As most of you know, Chauncey, Lucia, and I are going to be taking a nice, warm trip to my country... the Dominican Republic. This trip is not for another 2 months. We're all really excited, although I have to admit I have sort of mixed feelings. WHY PAO?!?!?! I know it will be great! But, really, how great? I guess you need to understand why I feel this way...
My dad died 6 years ago. I'm not gonna lie... I miss him soooo much. I can't even exaplain it. Thankfully, after his death, and joining the church, I have a completely different perspective of death (for which I'm so grateful). However, this doesn't take away from the fact that I miss him. Everything that I love the most has happened after his death. I met the MOST AMAZING man in the world, who took me to the Lord's Temple to be sealed for eternity (pretty brave of him for wanting to be with me that long) :P. I also became a mom to the most loving little girl. I'm sure he took care of Lucia before she came to us, and I know that one day I will be able to introduce him to the man I love the most...
So, here I am going to the DR to show off my beautiful family, but my dad's not there. (Sorry to make this post sad, but it kinda helps me to let it all out.) I just miss him.
I feel better already!!! PHEEeeeW! Anyway, here's my daddy... and uhm, I guess some of me too :P (just for fun):

I miss you so much Daddy!!!
